Final Report: Corrie Death an Accident
The Israel Defense Forces have finished their investigation into the death of ISM tool Rachel Corrie, concluding what most reasonable people already knew—that her death was an accident, and that the circumstances bore little or no relation to the descriptions given by Palestinian and ISM “eyewitnesses.”
The military investigation conducted by the Judge Advocate’s Office concludes that Corrie, who was in a closed military zone and interfering with IDF operational activities, was killed by accident.
On March 16, Corrie, a 23-year-old college student was said to have been run over and killed by an IDF bulldozer.
The Military Advocate General`s office further stated that it was impossible for the driver to have seen or heard Corrie.
“The driver at no point saw or heard Corrie,” a military source told the Jerusalem Post. “She was standing behind debris which obstructed the view of the driver and the driver had a very limited field of vision due to the protective cage he was working in.”
“The driver and his commanders were interrogated extensively over a long period of time with the use of polygraph tests and video evidence. They had no knowledge that she was standing in the path of the tractor. Both the driver and his commanders were cleared of any wrongdoing. An autopsy of Corrie’s body revealed that the cause of death was from falling debris and not from the tractor physically rolling over her,” the source stated.
“It was a tragic accident that never should have happened,” the source said. “The International Solidarity Movement, for which Corrie belonged to, was directly responsible for illegal behavior and conduct in the area of Corrie’s death and their actions directly led to this tragedy,” the source concluded.
Expect this to have little or no effect on the ISM’s efforts to exploit Corrie’s death, or on the news media’s continual repetition of the lies about the way she died.
It must be driving the ISM and their Palestinian backers crazy that they haven’t been able to turn Corrie’s death into the huge propaganda victory they thought it would be; they started the lies and myth-making as soon as she was crushed under that falling debris.
